FCB : La Liga : 18/19 Season VS 22/23 Season

Fc Barcelona La Liga 2022/23 > La Liga 2018/19

This is a very surprising fact for all fans as everyone recalls the 18/19 Season as one of the strongest seasons of Barça. A domestic title and a semi-final finish in the UCL.

At the same time, the 22/23 season for Fc Barcelona was a mixed one. Despite the success in La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup, Barça fell from the UEFA Champions League to the UEFA Europa League and lost that as well.

Then how did FCB manage to have a better finish in the 22/23 season?

Team Statistics and Comparisons


As visible, there is a 1 point difference between the two seasons.
It may not seem much but it is pretty unbelievable that Barça reached this milestone.
A defensive masterclass is what made the difference in the 22/23 season.

Further, several team performance statistics will be compared.


Even though the big chances created and missed remained the same, penalties made a big difference in the goals scored. Fc Barcelona scored 8 penalties and 6 freekicks in the 18/19 La Liga Season while scoring 0 penalties or freekicks in the 22/23 season. 


The goalkeeper, Marc Andre Ter Stegen was on top of his game in the 22/23 Season along with a mighty defence of Ronald Aroujo and Joules Kounde made the Barcelona defence almost perfect.

In the 18/19 Season, the central defence was mainly held by Gerard Pique and Clement Lenglet.
It was Lenglet's breakout season after Samuel Umtiti's season long injury.
Fc Barcelona took time to adapt to the new player but still managed to pull off a great victory in the 18/19 La Liga Season.
